I would love for JPEG XS to find a home in Remote Desktop The low latency nature of JPEG XS would be very useful in making the desktop user experience fluid. JPEG XS uses higher bandwidth than traditional streaming codecs such as h.264 but those are very different and were designed with encoding video streams were having the absolute lowest bandwidth consumption is ideal. The thing is that as fast as computers are at encoding these video streams the codecs simply weren't designed for use cases where latency mattered more.
One such use case is gaming. Nvidia has their Geforce Now, Steam has in home streaming and there are others that are good and people do use them but often they have been reported as being sluggish as there is usually a slight delay in the streams that can be measured in 10-30+ milliseconds at the low end. This isn't a ton of time if you are watching a video but if you are playing a game this is very noticibe and contributes to a game feeling sluggish. JPEG XS could be what is needed to make all of that go away due to the added latency being measured in sub miliseconds or to be more specific as low as 100 microseconds.
It isn't perfect, especially if it is going over a WAN connection as the bandwidth definitely is greater than something like h.264. IntoPix reports bandwidth requirements in the 150-400Mbps range for 1080p60, 400-750Mbps for 4k60, and 1.5-2.5Gbps for 8k60 depending on what is happening in the images. This is a lot compared to the current standard of less than 100Mbps but importantly it is within the bandwidth of what most people already have deployed in their home and what businesses have deployed in their offices. 8K is even possible on a Wifi 7 connection. Importantly this isn't something that everyone is going to need or want to implement in their environments but I think there is a very clear user base that would benefit from this technology.
